This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Angelica Löwdin kept a secret for more than 50 years. Life gave her a confusing set of lemons, as she was born as a boy who from an early age felt a strong urge to appear as a girl. Today she lives her life openly as a transgender person and shares her very personal story about coming out and finding the courage to be who you are.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
